Letls be honest here folks...it may have been a tough day for her, but we also know that she was still involved in the "racing circuit" meaning people, places and being around the sport. Fleiss is USING her tragic past as part of her current storyline ...please remember that she gave him (and the rest of the people involved) all the ammunition they needed to pull this storyline to the end...there will be a reason for this part of the story..(cue storyboard photo)

Here is a post pulled from another thread:

Re: Casting on the show - the men and women have to fill out pages and pages of questions about themselves, their likes, and their dislikes. Then they go through in-person interviews where they meet with casting producers. There is really no way for this guy to know that 1 particular question out of them all is what kept him from being on the show. What we do know is that there are certain 'types' cast on the show. There are people there solely for silly drama (tanner p / weatherman), those 'man code' men cast to rub the others the wrong way (craig / david), the singers, (wes / ashley (think that was her name) and those really trying to find love. If the 'quota' had been filled, then he simply could've been cut "just because". In addition - there comes a point in the casting process where (in some seasons past, not all!) the Bachelor/ette was given pictures and/or information to help weed through their prospective lot. This could've been what happened to this guy...but b/c he was asked a question about having a relationship with a woman who had a child and answered no, he assumed it was this.

If we think about this rationally - they HAD to ask this question this season - one of the F2s has a child. And because they don't want the ending known, they're covering their bases. I'm sure they'd also assume that this particular question would get out and make its way around the 'net. Believe me, I have firsthand knowledge about how things from the questionnaires and interviews get spread - and I'm just the good friend of one of Ali's bachelor's brothers.

The edit has never pointed to Emily as the next prospective Bachelorette. She's barely had any face time, we barely ever hear her speak, they have given her lots of relationship doubts, and they barely showed her in her bikini! Compare that to a few others from this season and there are girls being more readily set up for the next 'Ette gig.

Sidenote: this isn't in any way meant as a post against you, TNmomof4, it's just what I know from behind-the-scenes and what we all know from seasons past.

I couldn’t agree more - and methinks Emily has more invested in her appearance on this show than just finding a man ***cough Bachelorette Season 7 cough***

Anyone so opposed to any material being used has the option of either not appearing on the show, or refusing to cooperate – but once they sign on the dotted line – everything is fair game, and they all know that.

But how does the SI shoot alter the credibility of the show?? Will be glad to finally know what it is so we can put it to rest – and if it was the SI scandal – which ET has already reported on, would he be way late to that party???

I agree, I don't see SI as a scandal at all. I am actually sure Michelle is thrilled to have SI swim suite issue model on her resume.

Well it might be some other stuff to go with that....but ITA, can't wait to see what it is so that we can put it to rest!
